Chapter 162: The Truth Revealed
Narcissus's palm was pressed against the cold brick wall, and she held her breath and didn't dare to move, for fear of missing some key information.
Uncle Guo's expression was dull, and he walked a few steps with his hands behind his back and said, "They know too much, and they thought of cutting off this road for Yiyun...... Alas......"
Uncle Guo sighed and looked at the wall in front of him.
Narcissus couldn't hear the sound, subconsciously moved to the wall, and slowly turned his head to look, in front of him was a room with an open door, and from this angle he could only see the butler's back.
She half-bent over and walked gently to the door, and heard a clear voice say: "Guanyin is just a code name, anyone can change it, and I can't save my face if I can't save Lord Shui." ”
Narcissus frowned as she listened, unable to understand the meaning of the sentence.
"The fourth young master only has her in his heart, if she dies......"
Narcissus was completely dumbfounded, he didn't listen to a word of the next words, and he had the scene of meeting Uncle Guo and the housekeeper in his head, and he couldn't think of when he exposed himself.
Did you misunderstand her, the housekeeper said her...... It's Kannon...... It's himself, the person in Yiyun's heart, Narcissus thinks that his brain is in chaos, his nails are locked in the cracks of the bricks, and his face is distorted.
After drawing out some ideas, she looked straight ahead, and the intermittent words came into her ears again, and she didn't hear any key information, only heard Uncle Guo say that she would try her best to save the two of them.
The sudden words made Narcissus forget about his surroundings, and after taking two steps forward, he heard the sound of sand and gravel under his feet.
"Who?"
The housekeeper shouted that he had run out of the room, and when he saw the black-clothed back, his eyes widened instantly, and Narcissus slowly turned around, and saw Uncle Guo following behind the housekeeper, pulling down the mask and calling out to his father.
Uncle Guo smiled and nodded, "You still found this place after all." After saying that, she walked into the room with her hands behind her back, and the housekeeper motioned for Narcissus to follow, and she was stunned as soon as she walked in.
I saw that there were several grids on the wall on the left, which looked like a bookshelf, but each grid was not a book, but a glittering gold brick.
Narcissus subconsciously blinked and walked over, picked up a gold brick and weighed it, not mistaken for the real thing.
She took a deep breath and looked back at Uncle Guo and the housekeeper but didn't speak, always feeling that they should say something first at this time.
The housekeeper hurriedly called out to Uncle Guo, but he was interrupted with a gesture. Uncle Guo stretched out his hand unhurriedly and motioned for Narcissus to sit down.
Narcissus swept around, sat down and immediately said, "Father, although I am a concubine, you can imagine the position of Yiyun in my heart. I call you father is to treat you as family, since you know that I am Guanyin, then you should also know what I have done over the years, you ......"
"I didn't expect Guanyin to be you", Narcissus didn't finish talking and was stopped by Uncle Guo, frowning and repeating, "At the beginning? ”
"When Wu Da told me that Narcissus was a woman and was going to marry Yiyun, I was also scared." Narcissus suddenly became alert and stared at Uncle Guo, muttering, "Wu Da? What do you mean? ”
Uncle Guo did not have an obvious change in expression at this time, and continued with a serious face: "Wu Da only knows that it is Guanyin that I asked him to monitor, and of course I know that Guanyin is a woman, and I know Guanyin's every move, but I didn't expect that Guanyin was the Li Xian'er that Yun'er promised to Yiyun back then.
I understand that Yiyun has been thinking about you for a few years, and it is because of you that I can't tolerate the county lord in my heart, so I also thought that after you get married, you will be a good wife to your husband and children, and I will let Guanyin disappear to fulfill your ......"
Narcissus stood up unconsciously when she heard this, and her whole person felt dizzy, trying her best to figure out her thoughts in her head.
Wu Da has been by his side for so many years, and it turns out that he is monitoring himself, what does it mean to make Guanyin disappear.
Since he understands his every move, why didn't he push himself to the emperor. Narcissus thought and looked back at the gold bricks sharply, could it be ......, she shook her head in disbelief.
"I think you already know that your master and mother were killed after you got married, which is why I want to kill them."
A feeling of nausea suddenly rushed to Narcissus's throat, and she suddenly felt weak, holding the table with one hand and covering her mouth with the other. A few years before I got married, I had no intersection with Uncle Guo at all, and I really couldn't understand or dare to think about what was going on.
She asked softly, "Silence?" Even if they knew who I was, they wouldn't be ......."
"Where do you think these gold bricks came from?"
Uncle Guo suddenly raised his voice and asked, then watched Narcissus slowly walk to the wall, touched the gold bricks and said, "I don't want to hide it from you when you find out, these gold bricks are your master and your masterpiece." ”
Narcissus opened her mouth but didn't make a sound.
"Your master and mother are both male and female thieves, but the stolen silver is here. And you ......"
Uncle Guo paused suddenly as he spoke, "Do you really think that all the silver you have stolen over the years has been used on the poor people?" Thanks to the help of your master and your stepfather, Guanyin's reputation became a household name. ”
Narcissus slumped into her chair all of a sudden, feeling her whole body trembling, and shook her head slightly, not wanting to believe it. Although the maid who met Cui's Mansion before also suspected that she had wanted to go to Jiangnan to investigate, she still refused to believe that her father-in-law would lie to her.
Uncle Guo paced a few steps around the table with his hands behind his back, and when he saw Narcissus's bloodless face and lost his soul, his eyes were in a daze, and he deliberately said: "Yiyun is the only child of Yun'er and me, for his sake I am willing to find someone to replace Guanyin and hand it over to the emperor, but I didn't expect that you are still walking this road after getting married."
Back then, although I asked Lord Shui to find a successor to the thief, if you were willing to live a good life for Yiyun, everything before could be treated as if nothing had happened. ”
Narcissus slowly raised her head, her eyes red, and her head still shaking slightly, "It is impossible for nothing to be passed on as the real thing." ”
"It's really hard to make something out of nothing, so your father-in-law gave eighty percent of his twenty percent harvest to the people."
After Uncle Guo finished speaking, he deliberately looked at Narcissus, knowing that she had believed it, but he couldn't accept it for a while, and continued: "Think about the night when Yiyun and Aunt Xue had a round house, when I asked about the woman in the backyard.
That's when your stepfather came to tell me that you have to act at night, and I will help you, to put it bluntly, for the sake of this gold brick......"
"Puff ......"
Uncle Guo didn't finish speaking, he saw a mouthful of blood spurted out of Narcissus, seeing her clutching her chest, her upper body swaying, and the white paper on the table was covered with bright red blood, and he subconsciously walked a few steps away.
Narcissus wiped the corners of his mouth with his arm, stood up on the table and said: "I understand my father-in-law's personality, he is selfless and selfless, maybe it is because he is your protégé that he helps you indiscriminately." ”
"Protégé?" Uncle Guo said and laughed a few times, "If the squire of the criminal department can't let the prime minister get benefits, how can he keep the position of the squire, and another person can become his protégé as long as he gives the prime minister silver."
The male and female thieves are your father's friends. ”
Narcissus suddenly felt a pain in her stomach, retched a few times and did not vomit blood, she quickly released the table, let herself stand firm, took a few steps forward, and saw the housekeeper standing at the door like a log without hurry, and subconsciously looked back at Uncle Guo.
"That Doudou was also killed by you because he found these gold bricks?"
Uncle Guo and the housekeeper looked at each other without answering, and Narcissus also understood, took two steps forward and a mouthful of blood spurted out, coughing and kneeling on one leg.
Although the stomach is drunk badly, it has such a reaction at this juncture, even if Narcissus does not want to believe everything he hears, he can't deceive his heart.
"Stop!"
Suddenly, there was a thunderous sound, and Narcissus had already drawn out his soft sword, and he turned around and leaned against the wall next to him, and saw that the butler's palm was still in the air, and the action was obviously to knock out the kneeling himself.
She was suddenly frightened, her breathing became rapid, and she didn't even notice it just now.
"Uncle Guo, you must not be merciful in this matter." After the butler finished speaking, he took a few steps towards Narcissus, but Narcissus held his sword but couldn't hold it, looking at the tip of the sword in front of him swaying.
